Overview

Acupuncture treatment arises from the ancient Chinese therapy that believed that we all have energy cycles that move through our bodies, and that stimulating these Chi meridians and channels will help energy move freely throughout. Through the insertion of professional and sterile needles, these energy spots will become unblocked and the patient will see improvements in overall health.

How Can Acupuncture Help My Cat?

Feline Acupuncture usually results in an improved quality of life for a cat that is dealing with pain. While not an overnight solution, owners are sometimes able to see improvements in as little as one session. They may notice an increase in socialization, and a more relaxed and alert feline. In some instances, a few sessions may be all that is required, but for chronic conditions, a feline may have to receive treatment for the rest of their lives.

Acupuncture is often used in conjunction with traditional medical treatment and methods that range from diet changes, prescription medications, and surgical procedures.

Is Acupuncture Painful For My Cat?

Professional acupuncture practicing veterinarians are trained how to properly administer the needles so that your cat will feel no pain. Most cats will relax during the procedure and often will fall asleep!

What Conditions Can Acupuncture Treat?

Feline acupuncture can help to treat chronic pain, arthritic conditions, kidney and liver disease, gastrointestinal disease, asthma, arthritis in their spines, necks and lower limbs, metabolic disease, inflammatory bowel disease, pain management, and helping to increase their appetite. As always, consult with your veterinarian for further questions and medical exams.
